CG Power arm Axiro, MPower invest in Japanese AI chipmaker EdgeCortix

New Delhi: Axiro Semiconductor, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CG Power and Industrial Solutions, along with Japan-based venture capital fund MPower Partners, has invested in Japanese fabless semiconductor company EdgeCortix, specialising in energy-efficient AI processing, according to a regulatory filing.

The filing, however, did not disclose the investment amount.

The fresh capital will help EdgeCortix accelerate the development and commercialisation of its next-generation platforms for Generative and Agentic AI, including its upcoming SAKURA-X chiplet-based platform.


"We are thrilled to support EdgeCortix as an investor and partner. We see alignment with EdgeCortix's low-power, high-performance AI capabilities, including platforms such as SAKURA-II, and the potential to complement our work in advanced connectivity," Axiro CEO Naveen Yanduru said.

It will strengthen Axiro's presence in telecom and wireless infrastructure globally, Yanduru added.

Headquartered in Kanagawa, Japan, with operations in India and the US, EdgeCortix develops silicon and software platforms for real-time edge inference.
